One of my workers has a friend named Mike Martin who I met about 2 years ago when he and his brother did some engineering work on our offices. Back in October he hit a possum while riding his motorcycle and was severely injured. He cracked his back, broke some ribsand then some. It was questionable whether or not he would survive. He did, though, and walked out of the hospital after about 3 weeks.

He was recovering at home in back and neck braces and a lot of pain. On Nov. 1, he decided to take a drive in his Wrangler and went into the path of an 18-wheeler. He is once again in the hospital but now he's really bad off. His injuries are extensive. He lost a kidney and part of his liver and he received over 900 stitches. he is currently in a coma.

Any kind thoughts and prayers y'all can send his way would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Good wishes going out . . . It sounds like he's received more than his own share of ill fortune lately. May he recover rapidly and fully.

That's some serious stitches, Paul. I can share your heart-felt concern. A few years back, a friend of mine hit a possum while riding a bicycle...going too fast at dusk. Slid down the asphalt and hit a rock and split her jaw open at the chin. She's okay today, but what a difference the accident made in her life. Her memory isn't at 100% I don't think, due to head injuries, but she fakes it nicely with grace.

Wow! He's in my thoughts and prayers too. But he's come this far with two such serious accidents - maybe it's a sign that God is preserving him for a special future.

Motorcycles are scary!

I hope he fares well... he's survived two really bad accidents - there must be some purpose for that... My thoughts and prayers are with him for blessings, strength and healing ... and I promise, it was not me or any other member of the band that ran out in front of him... as much as I love possums, they *can* cause trouble at time... dang!
